Event Description

One of the Historic Moments in New Jersey was when George Washington crossed the Delaware River on the night of December 25, 1776 and defeated the Hessian forces in the American Revolutionary War.  The trip was dark, cold, icy, logistically challenging and fraught with danger - sounds like 2020 in a nutshell!  In fact, Washington crossed the Delaware 3 times before going to the Princeton Battlefield and then finally reaching the Morristown Winter Encampment site on January 8, 1777.  Throughout the journey, Washington's' Password for his troops was #VictoryOrDeath.  To celebrate the NJ history, we have designed several courses thought to loosely mimic the troops foot steps. Choose your distance and help recreate history! What a great way to teach your kids history - the whole family can join!

Only 1 wave this time around, starts on Dec 1 - Jan 8 so don't miss out. Send 2020 out strong!
